“He (Christ) existed before anything else, and he holds all creation together….For God in all his fullness was pleased to live in Christ, and through him God reconciled everything to himself. He made peace with everything in heaven and earth by means of Christ’s blood on the cross. This includes you….” (Colossians 1:17, 19-21)

Let us pray for all our ServeBeyond/ServeCanada Missionaries:
Sammy Kabyemera – Uganda
Sammy’s mission trip to Uganda was delayed until November due to an Ebola case involving a Congolese individual who travelled through Uganda to Kenya, where he later died. After the 21-day incubation period and for safety measures, Sammy hopes to proceed with the trip. Please pray for the situation to improve and for God to make a way for Sammy. If things don’t go well, Sammy plans to send food to refugees and clothing for discipleship conferences in February 2027, or even sooner.
Stephen & Jane Wheeler – Montréal
Please pray for God’s guidance and our participation in the mid-November gathering of “The Journey.” And please pray for our Thursday evening meetings as we continue our walk through the book of Genesis.
Joy – Creative Access Country
Please pray for the fundraising we are doing for Christmas; this year the demand is high. Please also be continually praying for those in need in Egypt.
Julsain Blanc – Haiti
First, we would like to thank God for all the blessings to the church in Montreal and the mission field in Haiti. Glory to God for all He has done for us. Pray for the next mission trip to Haiti in December. The purpose is to graduate 345 students from our Bible College in Haiti and visit our orphanages to share the love and feed the orphans. Pray for people’s hearts to be open to giving funds to the cause.
Lina and David – Japan
Pray for the provision of our Ministry Expense Fund. Pray for our visa renewal. Currently, our visa is 1 year only; we need to renew every year, and the process is complicated and expensive. We hope to get a longer-term visa of 3 or 5 years. Pray also for our faith and perseverance, even if we can not see the fruit of the outreach program.
Children’s Shelter of Cebu – Philippines
Wildfires in Indonesia have blanketed SE Asia in a thick haze and resulted in the closure of schools and government offices. Our own school was forced to close for several days last week by order of the city government due to the smoke. Please pray that the situation with the fires and smoke will improve. One of our older residents, a girl who is attending college, contracted dengue and is in the hospital. Please pray for swift recovery and complete healing.
Dan Byrne – Ottawa Evangelism Partnership
Please pray for Dan as he takes on a new Power to Change leadership role, helping ministries partner more effectively with local churches. Pray for Connecting Streams as we expand into low-income communities and refugee homes, and for an upcoming Ottawa summit bringing church and parachurch leaders together. Pray also for Keiden and Aiko as they discern their post-university futures.
Scott & Karen Wind Vandenberg – Mexico
We praise God for His continued provision for El Buen Samaritano Seniors’ Home in Mexico. Despite ongoing financial challenges, we have been able to meet our payroll obligations each month. We are also grateful that the home came through Tropical Storm Rachel with only minor damage. Please pray that God would open new avenues of financial support, as we currently have no reserves to draw upon.
Evangelical Free Church of the Philippines
Pray for President Ariel C. Joules as he gives leadership to over 250 churches in the Philippines.
Evangelical Theological College of the Philippines
Praise God for the completion of four generations of successful theological education and ministry. Pray that this celebration will be a very successful and meaningful time together. Pray for wisdom and guidance for President Gagutan as he gives leadership to the College.
